Chapter 0376 You bastard, eat my clothes, wear my clothes, use my clothes, why do you still call me scumbag?
Zhu Youxiao's statement actually made these ministers relax a little.
This Lu Cheng may not really be able to answer every call, but during this period of time, these ministers were all tortured by Zhang Haogu.
They just wanted to use this Lu Cheng to vent their anger and ask the court to revise the new policy.
Everyone was miserable.
In this big debate, let both sides argue whether what this bastard Lu Cheng said makes sense.
After receiving this answer, the ministers were slightly stunned. They did not expect Zhu Youxiao to play this trick. After thinking about it, they felt that it was not unacceptable. Once the group of people put it together, they decided to go back for the time being and take a look before talking.
It’s never too late to cry!
Three days later, the two sides began to debate.
The host was Yuanfu Zhang Haogu. Other than that, all officials were not allowed to participate in the debate. Only gentry without real power were allowed to participate.
You choose the square player yourself.
To counter the contestants, Zhang Haogu chose several farm owners, farmers working in the fields, and some workers.
Soon, the square players also chose their main players.
One of them who is very important is Zhou Kui.
Now Zhou Kui naturally does not have any title, and Zhu Youjian still has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Zhou Kui took the initiative to stand up. He was also full of complaints when it came to this new policy. Originally, when his daughter married King Xin, he thought that his good days were coming, so he hurried to the capital and bought a lot of land along the way.
Thinking of living the life of a rich man, with King Xin's relationship, he would definitely be able to acquire more land.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to sell his land in his hometown and came to the capital.
As a result, he never expected that after acquiring a large amount of land, the imperial court would allocate acres of land to him, causing Zhou Kui to suffer such losses that his own mother exploded.
I originally thought that King Xin was of some use, but it turned out that Zhu Youjian was really useless, and mud could not hold up the wall.
Zhou Kui was also full of complaints about his son-in-law.
If you were not the prince, I would really beat you.
After losing a lot of money, Zhou Kui naturally did not have the courage to confront the court, but eagerly looked for connections, and now he found Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji.
During this period, Zhou Kui finally negotiated a business deal and asked himself to produce a batch of parts for the loom. To this end, Zhou Kui spent a large amount of money, and also borrowed a large amount from Daming Bank to purchase
Get machine tools and recruit workers.
In short, Zhou Kui feels that he has a promising future.
It's impossible to count on your daughter, and it's impossible to count on your son-in-law. In the end, you still need to bear everything by yourself.
However, Zhou Kui decided to participate in this big debate.
After all, his losses this time were really too big, and he wanted to severely accuse this new policy.
This new policy is really evil.
Many people really expressed their support for Zhou Kui becoming a contestant.
After all, Zhou Kui is also Zhu Youjian's father-in-law.
In addition, Zhu Youjian was obviously biased towards the gentry like them, so it was really good to let Zhou Kui participate in the debate.
In addition to Zhou Kui, there are also some gentry who are also included in the invitation.
However, it is not right to say that these gentry are completely gentry, because these people have already begun to transform, and the gentry who can take the lead have basically broken away from the shackles of the land.
Those who have not broken away are basically completely bound to the land, and then slowly annihilated by waves of tax collection.
The debate took place at the Chongsheng Gate of the Confucius Temple.
The Confucius Temple, also called the Confucian Temple, is a place for worshiping Confucius.
The Confucius Temple took 4 years to build, and its construction history far exceeds that of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The Confucius Temple is located in the northeast of the Forbidden City, at No. 13 Guozijian Street, Andingmen, Dongcheng District today. It faces north and south, covering an area of 22,000 square meters. The main buildings are Dacheng Gate,
Dacheng Hall, Chongsheng Gate, Chongsheng Temple, etc.
The content of the debate was to ask Lu Cheng to talk about his courses.
Let’s debate the content of this course again.
At this moment, there were more than 300 civil and military officials who came to participate in the hearing. In addition, there were also the Xin Wang Zhu Youjian and his wife, as well as the Dog Emperor Zhu Youxiao and Queen Zhang.
Zhu Qiqi also came over, and Zhang Haogu was responsible for controlling the field.
Afterwards, Lu Chengcheng began to lecture.
What he is talking about is naturally only the superior wisdom and the inferior fool. Moreover, this guy is also very well prepared. It can be traced directly back to the Zhu Yuanzhang period. To put it bluntly, at that time, Lao Zhu wanted to have a clear hierarchy, rigorous order, and almost rigidity.
social structure.
In this structure, farmers can only farm, merchants can only do business, and officials do their jobs in accordance with regulations, and no one can cross the line. The division of military households, civilian households, and craftsman households determines their respective occupations.
But now that rituals and music have collapsed, when will it start, and you untouchables can stand here openly and listen to my lectures?
Untouchables are untouchables, so they should plow the land honestly and should not have any superfluous thoughts.
Lu Cheng's course was over. Although everyone present did not speak, there was some vague agreement. They had worked hard to get where they are today, but now, these farmers can wear it openly.
With silk, they can all read and write, and can become officials without even passing the imperial examination.
Is there still heavenly law? Is there still royal law?
Why can the gentry not pay taxes and not be employed? It is because they are born noble. How can these untouchables compare?
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but clenched his fists. He felt that what Lu Chen said was really good. The hundred gold he gave him was not in vain.
If Lu Cheng's words were too obscure, it would be impossible for these people to understand them. However, these words were so straightforward that even farmers could understand them.
What's more, these farmers also need to receive education now. Why can't they understand what they say?
"May I ask Mr. Lu, who grew the food you eat?" The farmer gritted his teeth and said, "It's us farmers. We braved the scorching heat of midsummer and stared at the freezing cold winter to open up wasteland and grow it!"
"Who made the clothes you are wearing? We, the textile workers, sewed them stitch by stitch!"
"You say you are noble, you say you are superior, you say we farmers are despicable, you say we workers are inferior. Now, I will ask you, why do you want to eat the food we grow from the land, and why do you want to wear the food we knit?
cloth!"
"You bitch, you eat me, wear me, use me, why are you calling me a born despicable person?"
Lu Cheng was stunned. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. He only felt that the fighting power of the farmers in front of him seemed a bit strong.
